Matthew 18:16-18

New Life Version

¹⁶ But if he will not listen to you, take one or two other people with you. Every word may be remembered by the two or three who heard. ¹⁷ If he will not listen to them, tell the trouble to the church. If he does not listen to the church, think of him as a person who is as bad as one who does not know God and a person who gathers taxes.

¹⁸ “For sure, I tell you, whatever you do not allow on earth will not have been allowed in heaven. Whatever you allow on earth will have been allowed in heaven.
